Home Grown LA Musician Da Shiek

Posted on August 19th, 2008 in Music

The Daily Bonus:
Da Shiek’s music is a pleasant blend of easy listening jazz and soulful R&B. Translation? Baby making music. This is the type of music you should have playing while hosting a chic cocktail party on a summer night. What I love about Da Shiek’s music the most is that it is relaxing, but [...]

John Cho Can Sing

Posted on August 18th, 2008 in Music ,

This past weekend, I went to see John Cho perform with his band Viva La Union. I was a bit skeptical when I heard that John Cho was the lead singer. How good could the stoner from Harold and Kumar be? I had to bite my words. Viva La Union is a [...]

You MUST watch “I.O.U.S.A”

Posted on August 15th, 2008 in Film

“I.O.U.S.A. is an incredibly timely documentary that is able to address a serious issue in an accessible and fun way…”

LA Shorts Fest (Aug 15-21)

Posted on August 14th, 2008 in Film

LA Shorts Film Festival is here! I very much liked slogan they used “Fast food for your eyes”! If you aren’t familiar with “Shorts”, allow me to explain.

Fat Fish LA

Posted on August 13th, 2008 in Restaurants

Fat Fish LA is a Kaiten (conveyor belt) Sushi restaurant with two locations: Korea Town and Westwood. I often frequent the Korea Town Fat Fish to eat lunch.  Normally, I’m not a fan of Kaiten Sushi restaurants.  Most often, these sushi establishments serve mediocre sushi at best.  However, Fat Fish has changed my mind on [...]

Suede Bar & Lounge

Posted on August 10th, 2008 in Clubs and Bars

The Westin Bonaventure Hotel recently opened LA’s newest ultra-chic lounge, Suede. I visited this establishment twice this month and really enjoyed the chic decor, friendly staff and excellent DJ. My only complaint is that Suede Bar was a complete “Sausage Fest”. There were about four males to every female in the room. [...]
